Bush on Obama

"I know it's going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we're in," the former president said to applause from members of a local business group. "You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money."

"Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States," he said to huge cheers.

That's great, but where was this attitude last year when the Bush Administration was bailing out the finance sector and -- more egregiously -- the automakers?
